A Guarantee to Abound
August 7th, 2008 by DanielPosted in Ponderances
God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. -II Corinthians 9:8
First, a statement about God’s uncontainable power: God is able.
Next, the details of this abiblity: to make all grace abound.
Then, the object: to you.
Last, the consequence or end: so that…
Thus, because of God’s immutable sovereignty, we therefore have all sufficiency in all things at all times. God’s ability (which has no end) gives us all sufficiency (which therefore also has no end). It is by this sufficiency (in all things, at all times, secured by the All in All Himself) that we can and shall move forward to do good works; and not just to accompish some things, but to abound in every good work. What a promise, what a hope.
